Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Why Free Will Matters
Free will, although it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love, goodness, or joy worth having. C.S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), [Adapted]
The Great Falling Away: Apostasy
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come first a falling away. 2 Thessalonians 3:2a KJV [Adapted] The Bible is clear that one of the signs of the end-times will be a general defection from the true God, the Bible, and the...
The Gift Of Today
Today is a beautiful gift even if there are still parts of life you wish were different. Somehow, with God, today is a part of a bigger story….a redemption in the works. We don't serve a do-nothing God. He is always doing something and that something will be used for...
But God
If God is in charge, guess who is not?
The Creed Of The Fellowship Of The Unashamed
This is a creed (see endnote) for those who have found their spiritual footing and have chosen to walk in the Spirit. It inspires a kind of boldness that is lacking in today’s culture. The Fellowship Of The Unashamed I am part of The Fellowship Of The Unashamed. I...
Stipulated: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here (Note 1)
Why does it seem like a great swath of the developed world is descending into chaos at the same time? What sense can be made of this? Is there any satisfying explanation? We Have Met The Enemy And They Are Us In America, the country is in thrall to gender fluidity and...
Who You Gonna Call?
When you don't know what to do, call on Jesus. #timewithGod
Time For Prayer
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." Corrie ten Boom (1892 - 1983) Are you just too busy to pray? Maybe the better question is are you too busy not to pray? No matter how busy we might be, it is vital we are intentional in guarding our time with God. This includes...
Created For A Purpose
"I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do." John 17:4 NLT We were created for the purpose of glorifying God through the Christlike character of our lives and the effectiveness of our service. The Bible says, “You were bought at a...
The Time Is Short
Every generation should live life as though Jesus was returning in their lifetime. Today, in fact. If you believe the Bible to be the Word of God (or profess to), then you will know this; the prophecy jig is up. By most counts, the Old Testament has over 450 Messianic...
Bracing Sadness
There are times and seasons of profound sadness: When a spouse or friend has died, it seems way too soon. When you realize a family member or friend may never have ears to hear. Then you remember the Providence of God.
Psalm 23, Amplified
The Lord is my shepherd. That's relationship!I shall not want. That's supply!He makes me to lie down in green pastures. That's rest!He leads me beside the still waters. That's refreshment!He restores my soul. That's healing!He leads me in the paths of righteousness....
Hobbes On Truth
Hell is truth seen too late. Thomas Hobbes, 1588 - 1679
Savoring The Word Of God
The experience of eating uses all the senses. See the beauty with which the dish is prepared. Smell it. Roll it around on your tongue. Get the taste of it. Is it too much to expect that we do the same with God's Word? #timewithGod
My Prayer For Today
Lord, today I want to be used by You to encourage someone. I ask You to lead me to those You want me to encourage. Show me what to say, how much to say, and when to say it. Teach me to recognize the needs in other people and not to focus only on my own needs. I pray...
A New Creation
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV #newbeginnings
When In Doubt /9
"Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don't pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the Lord's holy day. Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day, and don't follow your own desires or talk idly. Then the Lord will...
Nincompoopery
I have a failing. I will often refer to someone as a nincompoop. Or a fool. This is both un-Christian and not my judgment to make. It is, in fact, a sin. If I were Catholic, I might say it is only a minor sin. But I am Evangelical and believe that God does not grade...
